Memes are now an established part of awards season, as the internet furiously tries to compare every single look that hits the red carpet to something else.

This year's Oscars looks have been likened to fancy hotel toilet loo rolls, a stuffed bin bag and Daisy Ridley in Star Wars. But Oscar-winner Alicia Vikander has won the meme game, dressing as Belle from Beauty and the Beast.

The Disney princess comparison won't be a surprise to Alicia; she explained on the red carpet that she wanted Louis Vuitton to make her a modern update on a Disney princess gown. She said: "The 12-year-old in me wants to be Belle in Beauty and the Beast."
